This is my first try at submitting a song so bear with me.  I just play
by ear
and this is the way I do it.  I'd appreciate any corrections and or
additions.

            G                                       C

Bimbo is a little boy, who's got a million friends.
C                 F      D7       G              C
And every time he passes by, they all invite him in.
C     G
He'll clap his hands and sing and dance, and talk his baby that,
G
With a hole in his pants, and his knees stickin' out, he's just big
enough

      to walk.

C              F          D7        G             C
And the way to light them up, is to buy him candy bars.

Cracker Jacks and bubble gum will start his day off right.
G
All the girlies follow him just a begin' for a bite.

C                    F      D7        G              C
Although he's just a little boy, he's got a grown-up mind.

He's always got a shaggy dog, a-pullin' at his clothes,
G
And everybody calls to him, as down the street he goes.

That you're goin' down the road, To see your little girl-i-o?
